Michael Campbell Frederick (born May 6, 1927, Mile and a Quarter, St Peter, Barbados) was a West Indian cricketer who played in one Test in 1954.

Michael Frederick has a short and sporadic career as an opening batsman. He played as a 17-year-old for Barbados in 1944-45. He then came to England and played from 1948 to 1950 for Derbyshire's second team, alongside fellow Barbadian Laurie Johnson. But when Johnson went fairly regularly into the first team in 1949, Frederick got just two first-class games, in one of which he was top scorer.

Frederick next appeared in first-class cricket in the West Indies in 1953-54, playing in two matches for Jamaica against the MCC tourists. He scored a 50 in each match, and was drafted in as an opener for the first Test at Sabina Park, Kingston. He made 0 in the first innings, but scored 30 in the second innings, and West Indies won the match by 140 runs. But Frederick was dropped for the second game, and in fact never played first-class cricket again.
